Alyssa frowned. Why did that sound so weird? It was like someone had vored a floral perfume with


    old


    socks.


    The atmosphere suddenly grew quiet. Neither spoke.


    After some time, Jasper said, “That’s all I wanted to tell you. Goodnight.”


    “Hey!”


    But Jasper had already hung up.


    “What the hell? Was he drunk or something?” Alyssa grumbled, shaking her head as she switched off


    her phone.


    Meanwhile, Jasper was just realizing how mmy his hands were. His throat was burning dry, and his


    heart pounded wildly against his ribs like a caged animal.


    He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. “Let what is a bane of my mind today pass on before the


    next light. May that which frequents my heart unchecked, leave


    Abigail remained in a state ofa after the car ident.


    N?vel(D)rama.Org''s content.


    ording to the doctor, she was near vegetative, with very little chance of reawakening. This came as


    wonderful news to Betty. She felt like Lady Luck was finally gracing her presence!


    She couldn’t have anyone find out that she had persuaded Abigail to steal information from KS World


    Hotel.


    Still, Betty’s situation didn’t change for the better. Ada Kingsley insisted that she would only speak to


    Jasper about working together. Apparently, her team was also scouting other hotels, too.


    Betty went to visit Zoe at her ce after lunch. She was panicking to no end. However, Zoe appeared


    calm andposed, quietly sipping her tea.


    “What do you n to do about Ada?”


    “The only reason she chose KS World Hotel is because Alyssa fulfilled her condition of procuring one


    of the world’s top jewelry designers to help design for her wedding-all for that useless little brooch!


    “My useless brother hasn’t been able to get Alexa onboard until today!” Betty cried, stomping her feet.


    Zoe cocked her head. “All’s not lost.”


    “What… What do you menn, Zoe?” Betty asked in shock. “Did you manage to find one of Alexa’s


    designs?”


    “As far as I know, Alexa has never revealed herself to the public, always keeping a low profile. In fact,


    we don’t even know if she’s alive, and barely anyone has seen her actual products. So, why don’t you


    make a counterfeit one to give to Ada?”


    “Y-You want me to give Ada Kingsley fake jewelry? I’d be ruined if someone found out!!” Betty gasped,


    eyes wide as tes.


    “Tsk. How would anyone find out? You can’t even tell whether you’re bidding for a fake or genuine item


    during auctions, not to mention something as small as a bunch of shiny rocks. No one would be able to


    tell other than Alexa herself,” stated Zoe.


    Then, Zoe leaned in and murmured, “Plus, I know a guy from Yoarkley. He’s a jewelry designer and


    was once Alexa’s disciple. I can have him make a counterfeit of Alexa’s jewelry for you. Then, you can


    pass it on to Ada. That way, she’ll definitely agree to work with you.”


    Betty was still feeling hesitant about this n. But honestly, she barely had a choice anymore. She


    gritted her teeth and chose to give it a go.
